People from the baby boom will be in hospital or off on long-term sick long before they retire.

For many years, the state pension age for men was 65 and the state pension age for women was 60. But from 2020, both men and women's state pension age will be 66, increasing to 67 between 2026 and 2028, and then linked to life expectancy after that.
The government will then review the state pension age every five years.
This will see those in their early 20s now have to wait until they're at least 70 before they can take their state pension.
I have managed to sneak it with 65 still, but my wife who is 5 months younger had to wait until she was 62yrs, 9 months.
I can however take my work pension right now, so I may retire early, possibly next year.

I just put the direct link in, let me know if it isn't the correct one. Links are fine to sites like this so you don't need to type google searches etc but they will need moderation.

As she said, she has paid in her taxes and NI all since leaving secondary school, with an expectation that she would retire at 60. To move the goalposts just before she got there was cruel.
Her argument was that those who take advantage of university, where they are not paying NI or tax, should perhaps have an extended retirement age, but not anyone working as long as she had.
I think people will soon be dying off before taking their pensions.
